I respect it more than I love it. “L'Oiseau de feu, Tableau I: Berceuse” is undeniable though.

Overhyped? Maybe. Did I still cry at “L'Oiseau de feu, Tableau II: Disparition du palais et des sortilèges de Kachtcheï, animation des chevaliers pétrifiés, allégresse générale”? Also maybe.

Solid, but I keep skipping “L'Oiseau de feu, Tableau I: Profondes ténèbres”. Sorry Sir Simon Rattle & City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra.

“Petrushka, Pt. 1 "The Shrovetide Fair" (1947 Version): The Charlatan's Booth - Russian Dance” at 2am with headphones on is a religious experience.

Not every song lands, but when it does it LANDS. “L'Oiseau de feu, Tableau II: Disparition du palais et des sortilèges de Kachtcheï, animation des chevaliers pétrifiés, allégresse générale” is the keeper.

There's a version of me before this album and one after, and the after one is insufferable about it.
